Abstract

This master thesis Integration of Music in the Teaching Process has two major purposes, one is to investigate the usage of music in teaching process while the other is to determine how much the music is used in Croatian schools by teachers. The research of this thesis was conducted by gathering information from teachers with a specially designed questionnaire which followed the structure of the entire master thesis and observation of a specially designed class activity which included ten first and second grade students who voluntarily participated in it through a time period of five days. Research about music history and music in general was shown to help the reader to better understand the topic of the paper. This thesis obtained information about impact of music on the brain and why it should be used more in teaching and learning process by researching various sources and showing ways of useful music integration techniques. Audio recording technology was introduced as a new way of integrating music into education which was then followed by a research in which children used the technology to make their own song. The
result showed that children engaged more into the entire process because it was a new way of integrating music rather than just playing a song, which was their final result at the end – their own song. After the students, teachers were asked to voluntarily fill in a questionnaire on their music usage in teaching process. Results showed that teachers use music more than it was
expected initially when the research started. Even though teachers use music in different ways, 87% of them use music in teaching process. The author suggests further research on audio recording technology usage in education and encourages the reader to consider more usage of music in education.

Abstract (croatian)

Diplomski rad Integration of Music in the Teaching Process ima dvije značajne svrhe, jedna je istražiti korištenje glazbe u nastavnome procesu. Druga je pak, utvrditi koliko učitelji koriste glazbu u školama u hrvatskoj. Istraživanje ovog rada provedeno je prikupljanjem informacija od učitelja uz pomoć specijalno dizajniranog upitnika koji prati strukturu cijelog diplomskog rada i promatranje specijalno osmišljene nastavne aktivnosti u kojoj je dobrovoljno sudjelovalo deset učenika prvog i drugog razreda u trajanju od 5 dana. Istraživanje o povijesti glazbe i glazbi općenito prikazano je kako bi čitatelj mogao bolje razumjeti temu rada. U ovom radu prikupljene su informacije o utjecaju glazbe na mozak te zašto bi glazba trebala biti više korištena u procesu učenja i poučavanja. Istraženi su mnogi izvori i prikazani su korisni načini kako koristiti tehnike uključivanja glazbe u proces poučavanja. Tehnologija snimanja i obrade zvuka predstavljena je kao novi način uključivanja glazbe u obrazovanje nakon čega je predstavljeno istraživanje u kojem su učenici koristili tehnologiju kako bi napravili svoju pjesmu. Rezultati su pokazali kako su se učenici više uključili u cijeli proces jer je to bio novi način korištenja glazbe u nastavi umjesto reproduciranja pjesme na satu, jer je njihov konačni rezultat bio njihova pjesma. Nakon učenika,
učitelji su dobrovoljno ispunjavali upitnik o njihovom korištenju glazbe u nastavnome procesu. Rezultati su pokazali da učitelji koriste glazbu više nego što je bilo inicijalno očekivano kada je ovo istraživanje započelo. Iako učitelji koriste glazbu na različite načine, čak njih 87% koristi glazbu u nastavnom procesu. Autor predlaže daljnje istraživanje korištenja tehnologije snimanja i obrade zvuka u obrazovanju, te potiče čitatelja da promisli o većem korištenju glazbe u nastavnome procesu.
